UNL to increase internet security

UNL has made quick changes to its student computer system following one student hacking his ex-girlfriend’s account. Information Security Officer Joshua Mauk tells us, the system is now allowing for fewer attempts at unlocking an account.

“The opportunity for someone to randomly answer the security questions, if the security questions are answered properly is very, very slim.”

Mauk says the suspect was able to unlock his ex-girlfriend’s account by guessing her security questions within ten attempts.
